The different coordination modes in carbon-gold(I) complexes are spotlighted with a focus on gold(I). The emergence of gold carbene complexes and their critical discussion in the community is presented, and an overview of their bonding fundamentals and synthetic procedures is given. Several intriguing and sometimes highly reactive gold-carbon coordination complexes that were recently synthesised and isolated are reviewed and a critical outlook into their potential applications is provided. This includes vinylidene and higher cumulenylidene complexes, free carbenes with gold substituents, carbodicarbene complexes, and non-Fischer/Schrock sesquicarbene complexes.

碳-金（I）配合物中的不同配位模式受到关注，重点是金（I）。介绍了金卡宾配合物的出现及其在社区中的批判性讨论，并概述了它们的键合基础和合成程序。回顾了最近合成和分离的几种有趣且有时具有高反应性的金-碳配位配合物，并提供了对其潜在应用的批判性展望。这包括亚乙烯基和更高级的 cumulenylidene 配合物、具有金取代基的游离卡宾、碳二卡宾配合物和非 Fischer/Schrock 倍半卡宾配合物。
